Chapter 53 Jiangxin Relics
"Watch out!" Hu Meng gripped his weapon tightly, staring intently at the river, as if he was ready to strike the thing the moment it rushed out.
boom!
There were some floating ice floes on the river, but now they were swept up into the air along with the river water.
slam-la-
Huge waves crashed down, like a cannonball exploding in the river.
A dark figure landed on the shore, and all four of them focused their attention on the figure.
"It's Wu Ou!" Bai Zhou was the first to "see" Wu Ou's figure clearly.
I moved my body a couple of times to absorb the moisture that had gotten on me.
Wu Ou also saw the four people on the shore.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that even after he had single-handedly resolved the beast tide crisis last night and hadn't been 'missing' for too long, someone would still come looking for him like this.
This gave him a feeling of being valued that he had never experienced before his rebirth.
"How did you find this place?" Wu Ou asked with a smile as he quickly approached the four people.
"Of course, it's thanks to Lao Bai's skills! To be honest, I was quite surprised. I had some questions about the principles before, but I suddenly understood them this morning!" Yan Chi said with a smile.
"Did you discover something?" Bai Zhou's smile vanished as he looked at Wu Ou.
He had a feeling that this change might be closely related to Wu Ou.
"Is that so?" Wu Ou nodded. "I think I know why."
He had followed that passage to a place with a distinctly technological style.
The walls, which should have been intact, now had cracks of all sizes, the largest of which was in the cave he had entered.
But there are still some smaller ones, though these obviously don't have any other creatures coming in.
Moreover, the place he entered was clearly a passageway, with different destinations on the left and right.
He tried to recall his memories, but unfortunately, most of the place was abandoned at that time, and the situation was still on land, so there were some discrepancies.
Having no other choice, he could only choose a direction and explore it first.
After a distance of several hundred meters, there was a small energy agent production room in front of us.
It's not a factory-type facility, but rather a supporting facility for a small laboratory.
Unfortunately, he couldn't open the lab door at that time.
Inside the cramped laboratory, he groped his way to a locker.
Unsurprisingly, the locker's locker was already broken, and the door opened with a little force.
There are three items inside.
A source energy potion, a document in the language of that civilization, and an energy dagger.
Unfortunately, he couldn't understand the text in the document at all; it wasn't the main writing system of any civilization he remembered.
But Wu Ou understood that this was just the tip of the iceberg of the many undiscovered relics on the entire planet Earth.
Perhaps, in the later, more complete remains, there will be something that can be translated, or enough information can be accumulated to deduce the content of the text in this document.
As for the energy dagger and the source energy potion, it's unclear how they were preserved; the former is still usable, and so is the latter.
After searching around again and finding nothing new, and unable to continue in this area, Wu Ou chose to return the way he came.
The reason we didn't continue exploring the other side was because we were afraid that if we stayed here too long, people would think we were in danger.
I finally became a valued scientist at the Northern Base and obtained a management position. It wouldn't be worth it if I were to be mistaken for missing or dead because of something so trivial.
"So, you mean there's a remnant of another civilization underwater!" Bai Zhou's eyes were filled with doubt.
He took out his tablet and started typing rapidly on the keyboard.
He quickly showed the screen to Wu Ou: "According to your description, the ruins should be located in this area."
Looking at the marked location on the screen, Wu Ou nodded. It was Jiangxin Island, which matched his memories from his previous life.
"That's about it! Maybe if we go straight up there, we can find the other entrance."
Wu Ou pointed in the direction of the island in the middle of the river.
"While I can't guarantee whether the construction of Jiangxin Island Park thoroughly investigated whether such a special relic existed at the bottom of the Beijiang River, nothing unusual has been found here in all this time," Bai Zhou said, clearly expressing his doubts.
"But how do you explain this dagger and this document? Let's not even talk about the material. You saw the performance of this energy blade just now. It's not fake!" Yan Chi said, indicating that he believed Wu Ou's words.
Whether it's aliens or prehistoric civilizations, there have been similar speculations on Earth before, but there has never been any concrete evidence.
Now, having experienced a year of disaster, and with their improved physical fitness and special abilities—things that were previously just fantasies from movies and novels—they are a far cry from their previous existence.
Now, it has become a reality!
Whether it's an alien civilization or artifacts left behind by a prehistoric civilization, they are naturally more credible.
Bai Zhou paused for a moment, then asked, "May I examine this document?"
Wu Ou hesitated for a moment. "You have to understand, if this really is information from an alien civilization or a prehistoric civilization, and you look at it first, then..."
"I understand! Whether it's joining the core research institute of the Northern Base or doing you a favor, I can agree!" Bai Zhou interrupted Wu Ou, indicating that he was willing to accept the legitimate conditions proposed by Wu Ou.
"Alright then! We need to report what happened here to Commander Tian and Instructor Li. We have to go back."
Seeing Bai Zhou's firm stance, Wu Ou did not refuse.
He had no idea that he had done so much to prepare for the beast tide.
When the beast tide actually arrived, it was resolved just as easily.
He had a premonition that the reason he couldn't open the door from the laboratory to the next location was because the time for the large-scale opening of the relics hadn't arrived yet.
Alternatively, to truly activate the ruins, one must enter through the main entrance.
The group returned to Linjiang Shopping Mall and met Xu Rui and the others.
"Dr. Wu, thank goodness, you're alright." Xu Rui smiled with relief upon seeing Wu Ou return unharmed.
While Yan Chi and the others were searching for Wu Ou's whereabouts, he kept praying in his heart that he must find Wu Ou, that he must be alive!
Seeing that the person was almost unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dr. Wu, you have sacrificed so much to protect the people in Linjiang Shopping Mall..."
Wu Ou raised his hand to interrupt Xu Rui, glancing at the people boarding the bus in an orderly fashion.
"We need to go back to the northern base to report on some issues."
The reconstruction work is now in your hands.
